Sing a Long
As part of the resource pack for schools and learning groups, Valise Noire present 'Bring Up The Merman', a new sea shanti style song to celebrate the heritage of the seas and the Merman carving brought up from the waters near Poole harbour, from a ship wreck in about the year 1630.

Listen to the waves
Listen to the waves
Listen to the waves
Listen to the rolling waves
The water needs to be saved
The water needs to be saved
Make the murky the clear, so
Face the mighty fearsome waves
The Merman calls to be saved
The Merman calls to be saved
Bring up the merman
Bring up the merman
Bring up the merman
Bring up the merman
We want to hear the stories
We want to hear the stories
Heave Ho - we want to go
Under the water
Heave More - we must explore
Under of the sea
Heave Ho - we want to go
Under the water
Heave Ho - we want to be
Heave Ho - we want to be
Part of the sea
